We are very pleased to share that our foundation design for floating offshore wind, SWACH, has been awarded an Approval in Principle (“AiP”) certificate from DNV.
The achievement is made through significant design development, including hybrid model testing and extensive coupled analyses, and again shows Sevan’s capability of bringing innovative floater designs to the market.
The SWACH (Small Waterplane Area Cylindrical Hull) is based on our proven characteristic cylindrical design, adjusted, and optimized to accommodate a 15MW turbine.
In addition to OEM requirements, fabrication friendliness, mass production, scalability and transportation efficiency have been key parameters through the development process.
The AiP certificate marks an important milestone in the development of our floater designs, and specifically towards the renewable market of floating offshore wind.
This is an encouraging step for Sevan and Seatrium’s continuous work towards the energy transition.
